This study examines the impact of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) dimensions on the apparel industry's export performance. EO considers as innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking dimensions. The determinants of export performance are firms' financial, strategic, and satisfaction levels of performance. A cross-sectional survey is carried out by providing a questionnaire to high-level managers and owners of the MLEs. Primary data of 339 treated by partial least squares (PLS-SEM) technique examines EO dimensions' impact on export performance. The findings of this study revealed that innovativeness and proactiveness positively and significantly impact export performance. However, risk-taking dimension does not affect export performance. © 2021 by the authors; license Growing Science, Canada.
